Cohiba007 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Has there been a cigar that has "wowed" you this week? Unexpectadly good? I've smoked 2 sig VIs from 07 that were both great. Also smoked 2 petit edmundos from 10 that were really enjoyable. Fatties ruled the week for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrody Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Fatties have been ruling for me for a while now, but this week a Siglo I was the star. Unfortunately, some head colds are keeping my addiction to a minimum for the rest of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el.barbudo Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I had a PSD5 EL2008 box code GEA SEP08 the other night. Some nice plume on the dark wrapper. Salt, leather, very savory. Full and fairly strong. Great smoke and burn. I'm glad to see these are coming along well. Especially since the price was not as outrageous as the ELs can be and the lackluster reviews this cigar got over the past years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanL Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 The cold weather has been putting a real stopper on things, but I managed to enjoy a really nice Bolivar Petit Corona yesterday. Once again I find myself reminded that anyone who makes the assumption that a darker wrapper makes for a stronger cigar has clearly never smoked a BPC.

cigcars Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 *I've had a "pretty good" cigar experience or two this week, but nothing that's really "Wowed" me yet. The one really "WOW"! I got was when I had gotten hold of my first truly authentic Montecristo No. 2. THAT mutha really blew me back!! I'd obviously gotten only "questionables" previously. But that experience with a real true authentic Monte No. 2 placed me in Cigar Nirvanaland I hadn't experienced since my earlier Cohiba Esplendidos way before that.

DoubleDD Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Smoked my first Monte No. 5 this week from 09 and was I suprised. I have never really tried smaller cigars but with winter I have found that smaller cigars, such as PCs, are quite flavorful and fit in the 45 minute smoking time frame I have when driving home. The Monte No. 5 was a flavor bomb with cedar, chocolate and rich espresso notes coming through with a creamy finish. This cigar truly shocked me. I can only imagine what it may taste like with a little more time on it. Its cousin, the Dip No. 5, bore no resemblance to it when I smoked it the next day. The Dip was an 09 box as well but will definately need some time to come around. Mainly one demensional with white pepper spice and oak. I'm kind of disappointed in it but its still young.

bassman Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I have been wowed by a couple 02 Partagas Lonsdales this week, but not at all unexpected. Every cigar in this cab has been stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangaroo495 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 JL2 knocked my socks off. It's an 08 box, and has taken quite a long time to mellow out! Boy was it worth the wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wen1979 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 just smoked a 98 Bolivar Petit Corona.....a bit of a problem with the draw but was still an awesome smoke. Comes with a tad dark bitter chocolate taste and pairs awesomely well with my drink of the night which is a bottle of Coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thechenman Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 My "Wow" cigar of last week was a Bolivar Corona Gigante I smoked on the beach at night in Cabo in front of a roaring fire. The box code was TEB SEP 07. Absolutely fantastic smoke. It was literally heavenly. Paired it with a Hennessey XO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
